I grew up in Kilotteran with the ponies. Such wonderful memories of Joan and the great times we all had there. A lovely photo of Joan and Ringo. She always loved the quirky ones best. It was a small place in the early 70s and I couldn’t believe the changes in later years. I moved away and had my own horses later all thanks to Joan.
Sincere condolences to Bride and family and to all the people whose lives Joan influenced over the years. Hers was indeed a long life very well lived.

A beautiful service and fitting tribute to a wonderful woman who was ahead of her time and someone who taught those of us who spent our childhood in Kilotteran, not only how to ride horses, but how to be strong and brave young women. You meant so very much to so many of us, Joan. Thank you. x

Condolences to Bride, John, and all the family. Suzanne & Kathy and all the crew at Kilotteran Equitation Centre. x

Sincere sympathy to all Joan’s family on her passing. May she Rest In Peace.

Our deepest sympathy to Bride and Neil, all nephews and nieces and in-laws with Joan’s passing. Some of us had our first riding experiences with Joan, Helen, Bride and later with Gene at Killoteran. They were wonderful times; even before the indoor and barn were built- a while ago for sure…What a great equestrian legacy from Joan to us all. May she rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Joan's passing. She was a profoundly good influence in my life, allowing me to teach in her school and introducing me to so many wonderful people through our profession. Sbe was an extremely knowledgeable and experienced person in a notoriously difficult and dangerous sport and I will always be grateful for her willing assistance any time I asked her and will always remember the conversations we had. I will miss her presence dreadfully as I am sure all her family and friends will too. May she rest in peace.

The Horse by Ronald Duncan.

Where in this wide world
Can man find nobility without pride,
Friendship without envy or beauty without vanity?.
Here, where grace is laced with muscle & strength with gentleness
confined.

He serves without servility.
He has fought without enmity.
There is nothing so powerful,
Nothing less violent.
There is nothing so quick
Nothing more patient.

Ireland’s past has been borne on his back.
All our history is his industry.
We are his heirs, he our inheritance.

Deepest sympathy to Bride & all your extended family on Joan’s leaving Mother Earth. Her lovely photo reminds me of her dearly departed great friend Nancy Maher, another great lover of horses & all creatures great & small. They were such great friends & they’ll have great chats in heaven.
Rest in Peace Joan & May your Memory be a Blessing.

We send deepest sympathy to Joan’s family, Suzanne and the Team at Kilotteran Equitation Centre on the death of Joan. She was an outstanding person and is a lovely part of our family’s memories. May Joan rest in peace.

Myself and my mam & other family had the pleasure of meeting Joan in Medugorje about 18 years ago. She was such a lovely person. She was so kind and invited us down to the yard when we were staying in Waterford. I have very fond memories of riding out there. Joan was such a wonderful person. May she rest in peace.
